While this is the situation in Palestine, we have to keep in mind that this elections represent ONLY Palestinians inside Palestine. Not a single vote was cast by millions of Palestinian living in the Diaspora. This is another lesson Fateh should learn.

One of the major arguements or rather fears is that Hamas will turn Palestine into an ultra-conservative Muslim state (state as in state of mind). In my opinion this is doubtful. Let us keep in mind that Hamas did and does have the power to dominate Palestine with violence, today it’s been voted in democratically. This isn’t exactly Afghans voting in the Taliban. Palestinians know what they’re getting… n the end, Hamas has come to represent everything every other political group in Palestine is not: resistance. And this is what it boils down to. It’s easy to talk about negotiations and 2 state solutions but in practice it’s very difficult to actually sit down and implement…. We as outsiders consistantly make the mistake of framing Palestine as an actual state with citizens. In the process we forget this is a people and a land that is being occupied. Like it or not, disagree with it or not, it doesn’t negate the fact that this is true. Reality dictates as such. And for every action there needs to be some form of reaction; Hamas has come to define that reaction.

The win reiterates the obvious. The more you delay negotiations, the higher the factor of “restlessness” in resistance. Bear in mind – Restlessness is always unpredictable.

I think the Hamas issue is completely out of whack, esp. as it is portrayed in the western media. I spoke to this Palestinian guy – a regular, hard-working, peace-loving Palestinian making a living in America. According to him (and many Palestinians), Arafat’s party was the corrupt, power-hungry party and Hamas was the true vox populi.

hamas is synonymous with violence. the palestinians have been raised on a diet of hatred and struggle. will the hamas now renounce violence and take up the rightful cause of their brethren by sitting at the negotiating table ? the exit of the brutal sharon may be the harbinger for a peaceful settlement.

I recommend Steven Spielberg’s flick Munich which is a chilling account of the sequence of events that followed the murder of 11 israeli athletes at the munich olympics.
